FINALLY back in Bangkok. Today was one of the more "colorful" days of our holiday so far. For more detail on our bus ride from Siem Reap back to Bangkok, read our Cambodia blog! Tonight we sleep in Bangkok so we could catch the train to Chiang Mai tomorrow. We kill the mood for peanut butter butties, but we get nowhere bread or peanut orbit butter. We have to be satisfied with spring rolls, ham and cheese croissants, corn, pineapple, strawberry orbit melkie for Didi and ice cream for Henning. That's all we can get no more than a few steps from our hotel to move and we are too tired and lazy to walk further for food. Our hotel, the Train Inn, is a strange place. orbit It's like an oasis among the garbage heaps and rioolstank outside Hua Lampong orbit train station. The people are friendly, but what a strange room! There is no window and the room is overgrown by plastic vines. The mattress is so hard we could have slept on the floor. But the pièce de resistance is the potpourri in the room. The smell was so overwhelming that we could not sleep at all and we need every now and then swing the door open and close so we can breathe. Us favorite remains the notice in the bathroom (see photo), which we are still trying to figure out. Unfortunately, in our ignorance we managed to get our allotted time in Thailand a few days shorten. It works like this: if you fly into the country, then you may stay for 30 days. As a person with a bus or a train coming into the country and you have only 15 days. No one knows why and it makes no sense. But well, one they can not argue with a border officer, so 15 days it now. Our bus ride from Cambodia's more than just a few hours of inconvenience cost. The plan was to go to Chiang Mai a few weeks to spend a few Thai islands. We have already bought plane tickets to Phuket for 31 December. Now, however, we shall January 4 to leave the country. Fortunately, we have already traced cheap return tickets to Malaysia (thanks, AirAsia). We will, therefore, only the last part of our holiday a little different orbit ranking. orbit And our carbon footprint a little enlarged. Just shows you should never assume that visa rules to be logical!
